Saw that about Tom's tree. Unfortunate. I hate to see old trees come down, particularly when they fall on houses. But Irene is pretty much history. My daughters, who live in Brooklyn's Bay Ridge neighborhood, not far from the point where the South Bay and East River meet, report that it's all much ado about nothing. A few leaves fell from trees and the streets are wet and slippery. That's the extent of the devastation. Unfortunately, they don't know how they're going to get to work tomorrow, since Mayor Bloomberg jumped the shark and shut down the subways until Monday night.
Boston will see nothing more than a wet and windy afternoon. A good thing that, based on past hurricane behavior, was entirely predictable.
